Health and Welfare

Foreign students, both from within and outside the EU that are enrolled at university can register to the National Health Service for the duration of their studies.

The registration will entitle the student to be enrolled in the regional health service system, to choose a General Practitioner and to receive the same healthcare services as any Italian citizen.

The registration expires on the 31st of December of every year and has a lump cost of € 149.77 (to be paid by postal slip on account no. 289504 – account name: Regione Toscana - description of payment: iscrizione volontaria SSR anno 201...).

Non-EU citizen need to have a residency permit 'for study reasons'. If the permit expires before December 31st, the registration will expire on the same date. It will then be extended at no extra cost once the permit is renewed.

Foreign students that wish to utilise the services of the health system, need to register by handing in the necessary documents as per lists below to any of the “Sportelli dell’Anagrafe Sanitaria”.
